  1. travel is probably not much of a source of infection, if two places have roughly the same prevalence. .

  2.  @paulnew8344  Yeah, the links are excellent -- essential even.

  3.  @bernardocantu77  Yes, there seems to generally be a tradeoff like that.

  4.  @MyGenXLife  Wow I thought so to but actually, Canada and the US have about the same # of new cases per day this week, per million. . --- Canada 3000 --- USA 30000 --- and USA has about 10x Canada's population, so about equal rates (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/)

  5.  @MyGenXLife  Worldometers does not agree. New cases per million people are about equal, as I showed. . You are of course welcome to be nervous about suthenes comen nawth to invest in awl felds and moose futahs.

  6.  @Anna-ck7et  Yes I totally agree, closing borders makes sense mostly for islands, and places that have little to no virus. . Thankfully in the US there's no legal precedent for the government to prohibit people from traveling state to state. I'm in favor of most of the precautions but they could easily go too far.

  8.  @notsocrazyjohn5348  Makes me glad we have a constitution in the USA, and occasionally use it.

  9.  @notsocrazyjohn5348  Well clearly you need an amendment 2 saying "Don't ignore amendment 1." lol! . We need that in the US too! A constitutional post-script

  13. Antibodies are only one part of the immune response, and they always go down after an infection even when we are immune to future infections forever.

  14.  @snowwhite2709  Sure, hundreds of millions of infections, you are going to get a few anomalies. . That's important for individuals, but if it's rare it doesn't change the math for populations. . We just don't know if immunity on average lasts months or years or decades. If it lasts less than a few months, one would expect to see millions of reinfections by now.

  15. If the result was negative the test did not detect antibodies.
